I really like this and I don't think it's overly tilted towards one particular team. We obviously give up the best player but I think this makes our lineup much more balanced. I especially really like what the defence looks like.
Also, someone else mentioned it earlier too (can't quite find where now) but I do think that the top line has reduced itself to funneling everything through Johnny and when he struggles, the whole line does. I really think moving Tkachuk up with Monahan and Lindholm could spark that line. None of them are flashy like Johnny is but I think it could quietly be a great line.
The second line looks great with Reinhart on there and the last 2 look solid too, especially if the 3rd line plays anywhere near what they were like in the playoffs.
